During the Closing Theme Song

------------------

As Pazu and Sheeta bid Dora and her sons goodbye, they steered their tiny glider for home. Sheeta took Pazu's hand as he steered the little craft and asked, "Uh, Pazu?"

"Yes, Sheeta?"

"We flew all night to get to Laputa. Do we have enough fuel in this glider to take us the several hundred kilometers we'd need to get home?"

"Don't be silly, Sheeta. This is a glider. We don't..." He finally got a clue. "...oh."

"You know, Pazu, it might have been a good idea to hitch a ride with Dora instead of striking out on our own."

"I got you there, Sheeta. The Tiger Moth is gone. They're over the middle of the ocean. They'll run out of fuel with no place to..." He got another clue--completely on his own this time. "...oh"

Sheeta looked at Pazu, eyeing him from top to bottom. "Pazu," she asked, "can you float?"

Pazu looked back, cheerily proclaiming, "Sheeta, my head is as hard as my boss's fist. I'll..." He lost a bit of his cheer. "...sink like a rock. I guess reality doesn't seem to be very good to us today."
